Arrrr.... Here be my preliminary submission - I have two more tunes to add.  I been a playin' wi' the video editor to overlay vids, images and mix sounds - only let-done is the green-screen overlay (need proper lighting really...) - oh - and the bow could use a bit o' rosin.... lol

EDIT: The submission is complete - to save confusion with the "partial" video - I've deleted it - and the final version is now to be found here -

Thankee, mateys, @VickieD @Ferret @RosinedUp @coolpinkone, @ratvn, @Georganne - arr, the lot o' ye - ye be too kind!  My next two tunes get a bit faster - let's see how they work out!

I be improving the green-screen for the next ones ( I have - or had - a similar bit of kit to what you pointed out Ferret - used to use it years ago for making wedding / birthday etc DVDs - but I donated the lighting stands and umbrellas to the local school - still got the screens - just need to mess with the lighting or even the camera color-saturation to lose shadows - should be MUCH better ! )

@Fiddlerman - LOL Pierre - I trust the blatant FM advertising is acceptable!   I felt it was only fair!

--  Arrrrrr cap'n Ferret, ye be a-on fire thar wi' t' Spanish Ladies, ye old charmer!   Bit o' life left in the ol' sea-dog yet then?  

(Is there no end to this insanity?  I hope not!)

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

@ratvn  @coolpinkone 

Thank ye very much for your kind words. They warm the heart of an ol' sea dog like me. 

I be hopin' we get to hear another rollickin' tune from missy Pinky La Cool some time in the near future.

@BillyG

Mad Bill ye ol' scurvy bilge rat. Thank ye very much. Those Spanish Ladies are a real handful. Sometimes they be two handsful.rofl

And as for the insanity. It will last till at least the 19th of Sept. After that we find a whole new 'insanity' Aaaaaar :)
